We were to discover so much more about this beautiful place, its troubled history, its culture and above all its amazing people who must be amongst the friendliest in the world.

Our first evening together at the Sugar Ridge Resort Restaurant |
The house, Villa Sea Glass, is situated high above Jolly Harbor, which is on the South West coast of Antigua. (On the map, in the yellow St. Mary district where the red road veers to the North East.) It has four en-suite bedrooms, a large living/kitchen area and amazing views across Jolly Harbor and the Carbibbean. Since we had not elected to rent a car, a decision we never regretted, this did mean a strenuous walk up the hill to the house. Since most of us are avid walkers, we were able to take this challenge in our stride (sorry!) and viewed it as our daily exercise.

Enough of the home life, time to check out the beaches. A short bus journey took us to a variety of lovely spots. The one we chose had a pretty restaurant run by Lance who, like many people we met on the island, had an adventurous history.

Note the color of the Caribbean. It really looks like that, the light shifting throughout the day to change it from blue to turquoise, to dark blue, to almost purple
